If you’re ever pulling out the yellow construction paper to make yourself a Star of David to prove some “very important point” - Consider just rounding the corners until you have a flower. Pin it to yourself. There, you’re a fucking clown.

These types of services move people from public spaces and into private ones. They aren't profitable. The goal is to outlast public spaces, discourage us from investing in public infrastructure, and then drive up cost to keep out the poor. You want a WeWork, try a library.

Collective action is not the sum of individual actions. Institutions matter. Other things that political scientists say to large lecture halls. And yet APSA left every conference attendee to make their own (confusing) decision with limited information.
